Purpose: To report the clinical presentation, treatment course, and outcome of a case of bilateral frosted branch angiitis (FBA) and neuroretinitis associated with acute Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in a pediatric patient with Turner Syndrome.
Methods: Case report with multimodal ocular imaging and extensive systemic workup.
Results: A 16-year-old female with Turner syndrome presented with acute bilateral vision loss, hearing loss, and ataxia.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate the effects of preoperative bilateral eye patching (BEP) on subretinal fluid and vision in patients with acute primary retinal detachments (RRDs).
- A comparison was made between patients who underwent BEP (separated by compliance levels) and a control group who declined BEP, with assessments made right before surgery and after a minimum follow-up of three months.
- Results showed that higher compliance with BEP significantly reduced subretinal fluid and improved visual outcomes, especially in patients with mac-off RRDs, indicating that BEP is beneficial for stabilizing and potentially enhancing vision before surgery.
Purpose: To evaluate prophylactic treatment (PTx) of lattice degeneration (LD) on retinal tear (RT) and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) risk in fellow eyes of patients after primary RRD repair in the first eye.
Methods: This was a consecutive case series with cohort control involving patients with RRD repair from January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2017. Patients received PTx (PTx cohort) or no PTx (No-PTx cohort) in fellow eye with 5-year follow-up.
Clinical Factors and Outcomes of Acute-Onset Endophthalmitis Following Small-Gauge Pars Plana Vitrectomy Surgery.

Background And Objectives: Describe risk factors, findings, and outcomes of acute endophthalmitis (AE) following small-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).
Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective single-center, nonrandomized study of post-PPV AE patients from 2013 to 2021. All received vitreous biopsy before treatment.
Purpose: Develop treatment algorithm for acute endophthalmitis (AE) following cataract surgery.
Methods: Retrospective single-center, non-randomized interventional study involving patients with AE divided into cohorts according to our novel scoring system, the Acute Cataract surgery-related Endophthalmitis Severity (ACES) score. Total score ≥3 points indicated need for urgent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV; within 24 hours), whereas <3 points indicated urgent PPV was unnecessary.
Purpose: To compare patients with acute endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors vs. steroids.
Methods: Retrospective single-center, nonrandomized interventional study from 2013 to 2021.
